We’re moving into Phase Two: enhancing the landscape around the restored Pioneer Monument — with improved trails, ADA access, native plants, and educational gathering areas.

With support from the Native Sons of the Golden West and generous donors, we’re just $65,000 away from completing this phase by fall 2025!

💛 Donate today to help us reach the finish line and preserve this historic site: [insert link]
Gifts of $1,000+ will be honored on the Visitor Center donor wall.

Tour Vikingsholm Castle This Summer!

In honor of Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating Lora Josephine Knight, the visionary behind Vikingsholm Castle in Emerald Bay. Inspired by Scandinavian architecture, she built this stunning summer home in 1929, where she hosted guests for 15 summers. Beyond Vikingsholm, Mrs. Knight was a generous philanthropist, funding youth programs and even backing Charles Lindbergh’s historic flight.

Did you know you can tour the castle? Guided tours run from late May through September—don’t miss the chance to step inside this Tahoe treasure!

Spend Valentine's Day falling in love with one of our parks! It's a Full Moon Snowshoe Tour led by a Park Interpretative Ranger at Sugar Pine Point State Park. Tickets include snowshoe rentals, the tour, and guaranteed fun! The best part is there's plenty of snow at the park and even more to come later this week before the tour!
